REPAIR WELDING PROCEDURE FOR Owner

Turbocharger Class
Ship name ---

Scope of Repair: Welding repair Cast Iron

Material Grade: Cast Iron

1. NDE before welding

• LPT shall be perform after thorough cleaning
• Length of crack shall be marked from tip to tip.
• Traces of all penetrant shall be removed after completion

2 Crack Removal
• Drill at least 1/8” hole at the both end of the crack.
• Thoroughly Clean surrounding area of at least 2" with grind.
• Grind the crack to create a bevel of atleast 60°, Make sure crack is entirely removed, Check with LPT.
• Root of bevel shall be of radius of at least 3-5 mm.

3. Preheat
• 360°C - 650°C, Preheat the entire casting, not just the area to be welded for at least 1 hour (Heating coils are strictly
recommended)
• Must preheat the part slowly and uniformly.
• Make sure to maintain the preheat temperature of the casting from start to finish.
4. Welding process (WPS is not qualified)
• SMAW
• AWS/SFA 5.15 ENiFe-CI, 2.4mm, Current- 50-80 A (shall be kept at min. 80°C)
• Restrict the welds run, approximately 3”-4” long segments.
• Weld using low currents for minimum penetration, Min. dilution of parent metal.
• Immediately peen the face (gently) of each weld with a small ball-peen hammer to relieve stresses in weld.
• Use Skip welding technique (not continues)
• Always re-strike the arc on the previously deposited weld metal.
• Do not keep heating the same area. finish one layer then second and so on.
• After welding, allow the part to cool very very slowly. Wrapping the casting in an insulating blanket thoroughly or furnace
cooling
• LPT shall be carried out after completion and thoroughly clean the part after test.

Notes:
• Welders are requested to strictly follow above instruction and part shall not be allowed to go below preheat temp. until weld completed.
• All safety precautions for hot work shall be taken care of.
